The size is correct at 600 x 800 pixels. Basically any size with a 3 x 4 ratio should work, though if it is too small the resolution will look pixelated.

I use 600 x 800 and they work well and don't have borders. One thing to remember though is that if you use a color image it will get reduced by the reader to a 16 greyscale image. When that happens, the image might look dithered. That might be why you have borders. That is, the color near the edge got dithered rather than blending in as it did in the original. Your best bet when creating screens is to find a program that will let you create them in 4-bit greyscale (16 shades). That way you can see if any dithering is going to occur.
